Soon: Modern Bible Versions Exposed

I am currently writing a multi-part response to a YouTube video called "Modern Bible Versions Exposed." I'll let you guess as to what the video is about and what position the speaker holds.

Why respond to a KJV-Only video?

First, because both KJV-Onlyists and non-Onlyists agree that handling the Word of God with care is important, so answering the debate is important for believers who are concerned about this issue.

Second, because it is important to understand what the Word of God is when we say we hold to Scripture. My contention is that many KJV-Onlyists restrict God's Word among the His people to an archaic form of the English language, and perhaps miss many wonderful truths found therein as a result.

Third, because it is important to have faith in what God has spoken, but for the right reasons.

Fourth, because there are some superstitious tendencies within the movement that Christians should avoid, tendencies that may even prove damaging to the Gospel. This reason alone makes this an important topic for this blog.

Fifth and finally, because I used to be a KJV-Onlyist who had contact only with other KJV-Onlyists in my youth, I know how convincing and troubling this issue can be for some Christians. In other words, it is a pet interest of mine that I force upon you. So, enjoy.

(Part 1 | Part 2)
The first two posts of this series form an important foundation: we
must rely on the truth the Holy Spirit revealed to us through His Word,
lest we grow arrogant and embrace bold deception in the name of God. If
we lean on our own understanding of how God operates, we will fall. If
we grow unsatisfied with the Bible and seek words and visions, we
invite spiritual destruction.

Indeed, the light of Proverbs 30:6 dispels our confusion: Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.
In total, we said we must avoid Bethel because it is spiritually dangerous, and we said there are two reasons for that.
The first reason we examined in length last week, that it promotes false doctrine, and we looked at the heretical teachings streaming from
the pulpit to computers and MP3 players near you. If you have not read at least that post, please do so now, because we now turn to the
second of these reasons.

Did Isaac marry a three-year-old? If you've never pondered this question, it's because nothing in the straightforward reading of the text would suggest that Rebekah was a toddler or that their marriage was arranged.

Even so, a couple of verses out of context could be used by skeptics to prove anything. While perusing the web for a related topic, however, I found a thread stating that the Bible isn't against the raping of children. The cited evidence was this issue, the claim being that Isaac engaged in pedophilia.

The question comes from the fact that Genesis 22:23 announces the birth of Rebekah after the binding of Isaac. Tradition states that Isaac was then thirty-seven, and Scripture says that the two wed when Isaac was forty (Gn 25:20). Hence, Isaac robbed the cradle.

The whole theory is fraught with assumptions, the primary being that Scripture never records a age marker for Rebekah. Further complicating the matter, however, is Jewish tradition, which speculates…

It enough to make your heart ache. "Pastor" Dayna Muldoon has been pitching her tent in Florida, and like Todd Bentley before, false claims to miracles, healing, and prophecies litter her campsites.

This video of a Calvary Chapel pastor exposing her as a false prophet has been appearing in various places, and its been uploaded to YouTube multiple times. Even Todd Friel got animated about this, and nothing gets him hyper.

Here's the deal: Muldoon set up her tent-meetings right down the road from Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg, peeking the interests of many attending the church. When they listened to the message she presented, however, they found it not to be the Gospel, but instead the typical narcissistic message of health and blessings from God.

This is coming from a Calvary Chapel crew, folks that are typically non-cessationists themselves. Many churches, including this particular Calvary Chapel, host after-glow services where one expects similar claims to miracles…
